Medion Gaming Laptop- Failed CPU

Hello,

 

I have this gaming laptop: Medion Defender P10 Core i5-10300H 16GB 512GB SSD 17.3 Inch GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Windows 10 Gaming La...

 

The CPU has failed, my laptop can't be turned on. I sent the laptop to Medion and they quoted £564 to replace the CPU, which is simply not worth it. I may as well get a new laptop if I am paying that price. So, I would like to replace the CPU myself. But I need help on a couple of things

 

Firstly, does anyone know if you can replace the CPU on this laptop? Or is it soldered to the motherboard?

 

Secondly, it has the Intel Core i5-10300H processor. According to Intel's website, this processor is now retired. I can't find it anywhere to purchase. I can find other i5's but not the same one. Does anyone know if I can install a slightly different processor without causing any issues? If so what processor could I get?

 

I really want to avoid having to purchase a new laptop due to cost, so if I could replace it myself that would be the most ideal solution. Thank you in advance

Hello @jackm60 and welcome,

your cpu i5-10300H is soldered, socket FCBGA1440.
So it's not worth swapping for the normal user
Alternatively, get a laptop with a broken screen to exploit. ERAZER Defender P10 (MD 61872)
This information may increase your hit rate: It's a barebones Clevo NH77DCQ

bye Fishtown

Do you need a service manual for disassembly?
I could submit it later

Hi Fishtown,

 

Thank you for your response

 

Apologies, I'm not fully understanding everything that you're saying.

Are you saying the CPU is soldered so it's not possible to replace it? And I should get a laptop with a broken screen instead & repair the screen, which would be more cost effective?

 

Thanks,

Jack
